A building's capacity is determined by things such as fire exits, as my SU found out when they built what turned out to be an extra exit, not fire exit, for their hall, hoping to increase the capacity to 5000, instead they were stuck at 1500 and left with a large bill and no way to increase income to pay it.
Now, while if they'd got in reputable builders and adhered to the regulations they'd have had the capacity of 5000, there's no way you could actually fit 5000 in the hall, maybe half that at a push.
It's like lifts, they'll say "no more than 8 persons" yet you struggle to fit 4 in anyway.
Looking at the satelite photos of the mosque, there's a rather large car park attached to it's grounds.
As to why have centralised mosques, surely that's better and easier to manage than many small mosques scattered throughout residential areas?
